Abstract
There is an increasing need for mobile users to access email services anytime and anywhere. The solutions proposed so far, like Web/WAP [6] mail and VPN [7] tunneling are not ideal for mobile clients with limited resources. These solutions do not offer any new concepts to how the emails are transferred or the mail format itself. In this paper we present an XML Web Service [1] solution, which opens for new ways of providing email functionality to mobile as well as stationary systems. The paper starts with a brief summary of how email systems of today work. Ultimately, our solution based on XML Web Services and the proposed XMMAP (XML Mobile eMail Access Protocol) is explained thoroughly.
